Take off on breeze here? (8)
I believe the answer is:
airstrip
'here?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'take off on breeze' is the wordplay.
'take off' becomes 'strip' (stripping is a kind of taking off).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'breeze' becomes 'air' (synonyms).
'strip' put after 'air' is 'AIRSTRIP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for airstrip that I've seen before include "Simple runway" , "From which you might take off" , "Land here" , "Small flying field" , "Small landing area" .)
